Abstract
Aims: To clarify the long-term effects of short-term exercise instructions by physical therapists in Japanese people with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: This was a follow-up study of 2 years after randomized controlled study of short-term exercise instructions included 18 patients (5 in the non-intervention and 13 in the intervention groups). Motor skills, including 6 min walk test scores, and transtheoretical model was evaluated at baseline (week 0), the end of the study of the previous study (week 8), and 2 years after (2 years).
Results: In the intervention group, changes in 6 min walk distance, which was significant at 8 weeks (from 445 (420-480) m to 490 (450-520) m, p = 0.01)), were maintained at 2 years (496 (420-540) m, p = 0.05), whereas in the non-intervention group, there were no changes in 6 min walk distance at 8 weeks (from 460 (458-493) m to 464 (460-485) m, p = 0.86) and 2 years (490 (480-506) m, p = 0.63). Furthermore, the changes in transtheoretical model, which was significant at 8 weeks (p = 0.008), were maintained at 2 years (p = 0.02), whereas in the non-intervention group, there were no changes in 6 min walk distance at 8 weeks and 2 years. On the other hand, the other markers were not significantly different between week 8 and 2 years compared to baseline in both groups.
Conclusions: Short-term outpatient exercise instruction by physical therapists may lead to long-term improvement effect on walking ability in people with T2D.
期刊介绍:
Diabetology International, the official journal of the Japan Diabetes Society, publishes original research articles about experimental research and clinical studies in diabetes and related areas. The journal also presents editorials, reviews, commentaries, reports of expert committees, and case reports on any aspect of diabetes. Diabetology International welcomes submissions from researchers, clinicians, and health professionals throughout the world who are interested in research, treatment, and care of patients with diabetes. All manuscripts are peer-reviewed to assure that high-quality information in the field of diabetes is made available to readers. Manuscripts are reviewed with due respect for the author''s confidentiality. At the same time, reviewers also have rights to confidentiality, which are respected by the editors. The journal follows a single-blind review procedure, where the reviewers are aware of the names and affiliations of the authors, but the reviewer reports provided to authors are anonymous. Single-blind peer review is the traditional model of peer review that many reviewers are comfortable with, and it facilitates a dispassionate critique of a manuscript.
